Well, I couldn't be associated with the Pod at all if I didn't dive in from time to time.

Since I'm considering using Deb Porter's editing services, it made sense to go ahead and sign up for the FW 500. One way or another, I'd spend the extra money, and I might as well help support Faithwriters with it anyway (not that I have any problem of supporting Deb with it, either).

It's a bit scary to think of spending the money for professional editing, but I'm looking at it another way.

If I don't believe in my manuscript enough to invest in it, how am I going to expect an agent or publisher to believe in it?

Anyway; here I am.
